The Sharing of Experience

We receive many letters from the families we've served, thanking us for our caring ways during their time of loss. Their words warm our hearts, and speak to you of our professionalism, compassion, and the true value of the services we provide.

Oftentimes the best way to get a sense of how you’ll feel is to hear directly from families that have held services for loved ones at Hayhurst Funeral Home. We invite you to read and explore a range of testimonials and get the best sense possible of what your experience can be. Please ask us any questions, any time. We want nothing more than to help you through a difficult time with ease, peace and healing.

Our family is so grateful to Jack and his staff during this time of loss. Their compassion, kindness and professionalism was exemplary. Jack was so instrumental in my dad’s service and “hit it out of the park” in the service. Thank you Jack and staff for blessing our family through this difficult time. Nick Stone

Thanks so much for your advice, suggestions, and time during the planning and execution of mom's service. You and your staff made this difficult situation easier on all of us.

We are so thankful that our church ladies sent us to you. To say your entire staff were great professionals would be a disservice. The vast details were handled like you knew and loved our very special boy. A service of this size requires more and you met it. The video, the casket display, and the list goes on, were perfect in this insane situation. You gave me details just one at a time. I just can't thank you enough for helping us celebrate our boy.

Dear Jack, You will never know how much your friendship has blessed my life. After conducting or singing hundreds of funeral services, I woke to a new chapter of my life realizing that I did not have a clue the steps required to deal with the issues of death in our family. You stepped in with a servant's heart and walked me through the toughest of times and somehow left me feeling like it was an honor for you, when truly it was a blessing to me. Just like Nick, I realized afresh and anew how important your service is to the people of Broken Arrow. Getting the job done just isn't good enough when you are facing these most difficult circumstances and you and your team are a great reflection of class and joy as you testify of the Christ in you. Thank you for all the kindness afforded me and my family through your ministry. It will never be forgotten.

Jack, your touching story about the keychain got my 29 year old choked up because mom had given him an engraved keychain for graduation. He will treasure that keychain forever. We are grateful for your kindness and support during our time of need.

Dear Hayhurst Staff, Our family wanted to express our sincere gratitude and thankfulness for helping us in mom's service. It was such a peace to work with such wonderful people. Everyone was professional and also so compassionate. It really made a difference during such a hard time. Honestly, everything went so perfect, especially for the short time frame we worked in. Our words will never express how our hearts feel, but we did want to say Thank you again!

Thank you for all you did to lighten the burden of taking care of the many details of the passing of my husband. It was amazing to realize that so much was already taken care of by you and your staff. The memorial service could not have been better and the memorial folder was perfect. Your professionalism and kindness was impressive. Gods blessing to each of you.

Mr. Hayhurst, I wanted to thank you and all that were involved with the passing of (our loved one). The kindness given to our family and the helpfulness expressed by all at Hayhurst will not soon be forgotten. I was comforted to know I was in the hands of a strong Christian family who were able to feel and guide me through the process. I want to also thank you for picking the perfect music. I pray God richly blesses each one of you who took part in helping my hurting family. I thank God for you and the service you provide.

Mr. Hayhurst and Staff, Thank you to all of you for everything you did for my wife/our mother. Your compassion and thoroughness during this sad time were very much appreciated. A special thank you to Mr. Hayhurst for sharing your beautiful singing voice during her memorial service. Everything was just what we wanted and she would have been very pleased.

I am so grateful to you for the special attention our family received at the time of his passing, night of viewing, beautiful memorial service, and graveside service. We certainly appreciate your patience with the length of time we took for each service. If he was watching, no doubt he was saying, "Wow," one of his favorite expressions! I must say he deserved the best. Your staff was exceptional and we are so thankful for their concern, help, and understanding. Our family has used and been blessed by you, your staff and services since 1997 and unless Jesus comes before, I'm sure we will see you there again!

Dear Jack, You continue to amaze me. The wonderful way you conducted the memorial service, the compassion you showed us before, during and after the service! All the follow up you did, and now I have received notice from the Batesville Casket Company that at your request, a tree will be planted as a memorial to our loved one! My vocabulary is inadequate to fully express my appreciation, so I'll just have to settle for thanks.
